Fabric

Quilting fabric has to behave under the needle, hold a press and keep its color through a wash. Everything in this collection is 100 percent cotton in quilting weight, from yardage and 108in wide backing to the precut squares and strips that match it. Buy the top and the backing in the same visit and the quilt stays consistent from front to back.

Yardage and wide backing

Cuts of 3 and 5 yards suit borders, sashing and whole cloth tops. The 108in wide backing takes a throw or a queen quilt back without a center seam, which saves you piecing the part nobody sees. It is all in Quilt Backing Fabric.

Precuts that match the yardage

The same collections come cut into 5in squares and 2.5in strips, so you can start piecing the day the box lands. Mini strips run 2.5in by 10in, which fits smaller blocks better than a full width strip.

Collections, not single prints

We buy by collection, so prints, blenders and solids are made to sit next to each other. If you are new to picking fabric, start with one collection and add a solid from Solids to give the eye somewhere to rest.
